1 Medications: The Dark Side Robert P. Smith, MD
2 Potential Mechanisms of Drug Effects Metabolic effects Alterations of Immunologic factors in CNS Interference with synaptic transmission Excess dopaminergic activity Deficit in cholinergic activity Withdrawal effects Drug-drug interactions (eg, serotonin syndrome)
3 How Medications Impair Cognition Interfere with learning, memory, attention particularly anticholinergic medications Alter wakefulness and alertness Benzodiazepines, antiepileptic drugs, low potency antipsychotics Impact on orientation and reality awareness narcotics, NSAIDS, steroids, cimetidine, clonidine
4 Appropriate Medications with Side Effects most ADEs do not result from improper choices of drugs or drug doses but instead represent known side effects of drugs that have a rightful place in the therapeutic armamentarium. Meds on (drugs to avoid): only 4% ER visits for ADEs Warfarin and insulin cause 30% ER visits for ADES Steinman et al; JAGS 59: , 2011
5 Acronym: ACUTE CHANGE IN MS A C U T E C H A N G E I N M S Anti-parkinson medications Corticosteroids Urinary incontinence medications Theophylline Emptying medications Cardiovascular medications H2 blockers Antimicrobials (esp quinolones) NSAIDS Geropsychiatric medications ENT medications Insomnia medications Narcotics Muscle relaxants Seizure drugs
6 Polypharmacy Relative odds of developing drug-induced confusion 1.0 when 0-1 drugs prescribed 9.3 when 4-5 drugs prescribed Larson et al: Ann Int Med 1987;107:
7 PIM s (Potentially Inappropriate Medications) 100 patients at Memory Diagnosis Clinic; 22 had at least one PIM. Barton et al: Am J Geriatr Pharmacother.2008 Aug;6(3): patients with MCI: 143 (20.8%) had at least one PIM (35 had two PIM s). Weston et al: J Gerontol A Biol Med Sci 2010 Mar;65(3): patients at Memory Clinic; 19.9% were taking PIM s. Weih et al Fortschr Neurol Psychiatr Sep;77(9):523-7
8 Anticholinergic Drug Scale 0 No known anticholinergic properties 1 Potentially anticholinergic as evidenced by receptor binding studies 2 Anticholinergic adverse events sometimes noted, often at excessive doses 3 Markedly anticholinergic Carnahan et al.j Clin Pharmacol. 2006;46:
9 Anticholinergic Drug Scale Examples of Level 3 Amitryptiline Atropine Brompheniramine Clemastine Chlorpromazine Clozapine Desipramine Dicyclomine Diphenhydramine Doxepin Hydroxyzine Hyoscyamine Imipramine Meclizine Nortriptyline Oxybutynin Promethazine Propantheline Scopolamine Tolterodine
10 Anticholinergic Drug Scale Examples of Level 2 Carbamazapine Cimetidine Cyclobenzaprine Cyproheptadine Disopyramide Loxapine Meperidine Methotrimeprazine Molindone Oxcarbazepine Pimozide Ranitidine
11 Anticholinergic Drug Scale Examples of Level 1 Amantadine Ampicillin Benzodiazepines Bromocriptine Captopril Cephalosporins Chlorthalidone Clindamycin Codeine Dexamethasone Digoxin Diltiazem Dipyridamole Divalproex Famotidine Fentanyl Fluoxetine Furosemide Gentamicin Isosorbide Ketotifen ophth Morphine Nifedipine Nizatidine Olanzapine Oxycodone Paroxetine Prednisone Sertraline Theophylline Tramadol Triamterene Volproic acid Vancomycin Warfarin
12 Anticholinergic use Medical Research Council Cognitive Function and Ageing Study 2 yr longitudinal study; community and institutional dwelling patients (13,004 patients over age 65) 47% used a medication with possible anticholinergic effect, and 4% used a drug with definite anticholinergic activity Fox et al JAGS 59: , 2011
13 Case study LW 68 year old man: memory problems; starts sentence and cannot finish; confused; repetitive; couldn t remember that he had diabetes Meds: included Propranolol Pioglitazone Cimetidine 400 mg bid Amitriptyline 200 mg a day
14 Cognistat Case LW WISCONSIN ALZHEIMER S INSTITUTE
15 Case study EB Worried about memory Initially on amitriptyline 25 mg q hs In between RBANS: urologist put on oxybutynin
16 Case study EB WISCONSIN ALZHEIMER S INSTITUTE
17 Longitudinal Study in Elderly: Anticholinergic Medications 372 people with no diagnosis of dementia 9.2% continuously used anticholinergic medication in the year prior to testing 80% of users had cognitive impairment compared to 35% of non-users (poorer reaction time, attention, delayed non-verbal memory, narrative recall, visuospatial construction, and language tasks) Ancelin et al; BMJ 2006;332:
18 Drugs Associated with Global Cognitive Impairment Patients with cognitive impairment were taken off medications and had improvement when drugs were stopped 35 patients In general, patients who had minor tranquilizers, major tranquilizers, and antihypertensives had no adverse effects related to stopping the medications Larson et al: Ann Int Med 1987;107:
19 Drugs Related to Cognitive Decline Diazepam (7) Flurazepam (4) Meprobamate (3) Oxazepam (1) Clorazepate (1) Methyldopa (2) Propranolol (1) Hctz (1) Reserpine (1) Haloperidol (2) Thorazine (1) Thioridazine (1) Aspirin (2) Meperidine (1) Cimetidine (3) Insulin (2) Amoxapine (1) Amantadine (1) Larson et al; Ann Int Med 1987; 107:
20 Larson study Benzodiazepines In our study most patients had used these drugs for years, and the side effect of cognitive impairment developed insidiously as a late complication of a drug began at an earlier age
21 Case Study 86 y/o woman; occasional prn alpazolam use in the past; markedly increased anxiety and started using 0.25 mg bid and then 0.5 mg bid routinely Cognitive testing significantly impaired Recommendation: decrease alprazolam to 0.25 mg bid and hopefully taper further

24 Anti-Epileptic Drugs Phenobarbital, Primidone and Clonazepam have more cognitive effects than valproic acid, carbamazepine or phenytoin Newer agents may have lower risk, but not well studied in the elderly
25 Anti-Epileptic Drugs Effect on memory in healthy volunteers: Carbamazepine, phenytoin, valproate, and topiramate lowered memory recall by average of 15% Gabapentin and lamotrigine did not reduce memory recall on this task. Meador:eplepsyres.2005
26 Anti-Epileptic Drugs 95 patients with seizures and AD; 3 arm parallelgroup study of 12 months duration Levetiracetam (LEV) had fewer adverse effects and improved attention level and oral fluency items Lamotrigine had better effect on mood Phenobarbital produced persistent negative cognitive side effects Conclusion: LEV side effect profile makes it a safe drug for controlling seizures in patients with AD Cumbo E,Ligori L: Epilepsy and Behavior 17 (2010)
27 Case study MJ 80 y/o man Lots of trouble with memory, but also tired and fatigued On topiramate for headache prophylaxis We weaned off topiramate; at follow up visit was on CCB for prophylaxis and headaches essentially resolved Family thought he was doing lots better overall, but still with memory issues
28 Case study MJ WISCONSIN ALZHEIMER S INSTITUTE
29 Anti-Parkinson s Drugs Risk factors for adverse effects including aging and higher doses Relative excess of dopamine is alleged to be possible cause of delirium and other effects Levodopa: 5% delirium; up to 60% have some cognitive symptoms. Pergolide has altered mental function in 11-33% Bromocriptine Selegiline
30 Cardiovascular drugs Methyldopa Clonidine and guanabenz Digoxin (can occur at therapeutic levels) Beta blockers (including topical) Alpha blockers
31 Clonidine Sedation in 20-95% with overall incidence 68% Described as drowsiness, lethargy, and fatigue Less commonly: Depression Paranoia
32 Digoxin May have cognitive and affective abnormalities Agitation, restlessness, insomnia, or euphoria Lethargy, fatigue, anorexia Confusion, delusions, hallucinations Symptoms may occur with therapeutic levels
33 Beta Blockers: Conflicting Information Report of three cases; all had dramatic improvement with stopping beta blocker; 2/3 had underlying dementia and one returned to normal Rogers,Bowman; Postgrad Med J 1990;66: Two studies reported: no consistent evidence that beta blocker treatment was associated with a deleterious effect on neuropsychiatric functioning. Dimsdale; J Psychosom Res (3): Palac et al. J Gen Intern Med 1990 Jul
34 Beta Blockers Although beta-blockers do not impair cognition in normal subjects, CNS active beta blockers may affect delayed memory in patients with cognitive impairment. This is hypothesized to occur by interfering with adrenergic signals in the locus ceruleus and hippocampus. - Gliebus, Lippa Am J Alzheimers Dis Other Demen Feb-Mar;22(1):57-61
35 Antihypertensive drugs 6 yr follow up study of 318 patients Beta blockers increased odds of survival but also increased risk of decline MMSE and memory scores ACE-I treatment associated with decrease in memory CCB treatment had improved MMSE score and memory scores and performed better on tasks requiring concentration Paron,Anson,Lowenthal. Am J Ther.2010 Jul-Aug;17(4):358-64
36 Antihypertensive therapy 378 elderly patients on therapy with at least one drug None of the 3 studied areas (memory score, verbal fluency, or visual memory capacity) was associated with blood pressure levels CCB use associated with better memory score independent of age, sex, white matter hyperintensities, and carotid wall cross sectional area Watfa et al:journal of Hypertension;28(12)Dec 2010:
37 Calcium Channel Blockers Canadian Study of Health and Aging Older people taking CCB s were significantly more likely than those using other agents to experience cognitive decline (75% vs 59%) Maxwell et al CMAJ 1999 Sep 7;161(5):501-6
38 ACE-I Centrally acting agents: 65% less decline in 3MSE scores Non centrally active agents: increased risk of dementia -Sink et al. Arch Int Med. 2009;169(13): Centrally active: captopril, fosinopril, lisinopril, perindopril, ramipril, trandolapril Non centrally active: benazepril, enalapril, moexipril, quinapril
39 Narcotics Unrelieved pain can cause decline in cognition Pain medications may cause decline in cognitive function: often occurs at onset of treatment or with dose increase and moderates with chronic use Therefore, clinical judgment and close follow up is necessary
40 Narcotics Meperidine: DO NOT USE High risk for delirium; meperidine and normeperidine have anticholinergic effects Other agents, including Tramadol may have confusion etc.
41 NSAIDS Indomethacin is medium risk Naproxen and ibuprofen low risk Salicylates may have confusion even at therapeutic levels
42 H1 Antagonists Diphenhydramine; more commonly used than often appreciated (eg Tylenol PM) Anticholinergic effects Possible other CNS effects
43 H2 Antagonists Delirium has been reported with all agents Cimetidine has received the most attention, possibly because it was first one available and initially had more research Some patients may be able to use other H2 blockers and some patients have cross reactivity Some studies indicate full or partial reversal of symptoms with physostigmine so anticholinergic effects may be related
44 H2 Antagonists-2 CNS toxicity reported in 1-2% hospitalized patients and 15-80% in ICU patients; mainly in elderly patients One study: CNS toxicity in 6/20 patients with creatinine clearance <50 and 0/20 with patients >50 Slugg et al; Arch Int Med 1992; 152:
45 Corticosteroids Cognitive effects typically at higher doses (such as 40 mg prednisone or equivalent) but may occur at lower levels in elderly
46 Antibiotics Difficult to ascertain whether cognitive changes related to the antibiotics or underlying infection Cephalosporins, penicillins and quinolones in particular
47 Serotonin Syndrome Symptoms CNS: confusion, delirium, agitation, euphoria, anxiety hallucinations, seizures, coma Neuromuscular: hyperreflexia, tremor, myoclonus, ataxia, incoordination, muscle rigidity, nystagmus, Babinski s sign
48 Serotonin Syndrome Symptoms-2 Autonomic instability: fever, hypertension, tachycardia, shivering, diaphoresis, tachypnea, dilated or poorly reactive pupil, skin flushing, hypotension GI: nausea, vomiting diarrhea, abdominal pain, excess salivation
49 Drugs with Serotonin Activity SSRI s trazodone mirtazapine buspirone clomipramine venlafaxine MAOI s meperidine fentanyl tramadol pentazocine ondansetron triptans sibutramine lithium ginseng tryptophan linezolid metoclopramide dextromethorphan
50 Serotonin Syndrome Consider the additive effect of all the possible medications with serotonergic activity One report found 4 nursing home patients with serotonin syndrome related to SSRI and opioid therapy Treatment is discontinuing medications and supportive Gnanadesigan; JAMDA 2005:
51 Summary Use medications that may affect cognition judiciously and avoid polypharmacy; remember the wide number of medications that have anticholinergic effects Consider adverse drug effects when a patient has cognitive decline Many patients improve cognitively with medication withdrawal and often have no adverse effect for the prescribed conditions
